Do I have the courage

Will you even be there

Have you even been real

Or an illusion

From an alternate reality

Have your kisses been ghosts

Whispers

A need met

Manifest by my

Souls yearning

Your presents

A lullaby

A melody

The highways divided

Somewhere

I’m on my way

My flesh a river

My blood flowing

Moving to you

37 years I’ve lived

someone-else’s truth

I’m taking my life back

My attention on the road ahead

The past erased

The scares leaving

My bones

My closets empty no longer

The mirage of a home

Here’s my turn off

The city of bridges

Where I’ll park my wishes

A kiss of a penny

Making circles in the ice

Shattered is my resolve

Fragile as the whorefrost

Pretty, melting the tears

Crushed around my heart

My soul guarded

By the Sundogs

Their colours radiant

Moving me on

The highways divided

Somewhere

I’m on my way

My flesh a river

My blood flowing

Moving to you

My flesh a river

My blood flowing

Moving to you

If you will have me…..
